Arkspire is a city obsessed by magic. The five Arcanists - a group of all-powerful magicians have protected the great city for as long as anyone can remember. Within the hustle and bustle of these cobbled streets lives Juniper Bell, a thief who'd do anything for her family even her unbelievably annoying twin sister.
Then one night, something incredible happens. A mysterious stolen relic (nothing to do with Juni, ahem...) explodes, revealing a mysterious creature, Igna who appears to 'bond' with Juni. The only creatures like that are allegedly dangerous enemies of the Arcanists . . . and its not long before they turn their attention to Juni.
Soon Juni, Igna and everyone she loves are pulled into an extraordinary world of magic, power and prestige but also grave danger. It seems the world Juni thought she knew is nothing but a lie and now only Juniper and Igna can bring it down.
